Asham Africa Hotel and Resort

The safest place with the most beautiful view I've seen so far in Debrezeyit. It's among the oldest hotel in Bishoftu, the rooms needs some repair and remodeling. Overall i like this hotel, the ambiance is just amazing. I am definitely coming back again.

We had such a wonderful stay at Asham Africa. It has the most spectacular views and the staff were incredibly helpful. The rooms are clean and the food is delicious. The only downfall is the intermittent wifi in some of the rooms, so if travelling internationally I would suggest picking up a SIM card.

What a beautiful environment, perfect place to visit & relax by the lake which is awesome! We didn’t stay so can’t comment on the rooms but the food was lovely, coffee was certainly strong enough 😃 Well worth a visit if you are in the area. Enjoy

Great view..but that is the only postive thing going for it the rooms especially the bathrooms need maintenance my room has broken floor tiles and leakage and at some point I found frogs and lizards just roaming about. LOTS of stairs to get from place to place. Too close to the local church so woken up at 5pm with loud noises. The room walls are super thin so and heard my next door neighbor on the phone ALL NIGHT! So if you are looking for some peace and quite to relax NOT THE PLACE!

Adorable staff Unique place to rest with an incredible view other a peaceful lake. Oldest hotel there with a beautiful a**osphere

We stayed at Asham Africa in 2019 while I was traveling for work. It wasn't great but since it was the first time and we were only in Bishoftu for a few days, we decided to stay. The grounds at Asham are absolutely beautiful. But unfortunately, that's about it for this hotel. We returned again in October 2022 deluding ourselves that things must have improved. It was worse than before, a nigh**are really. We stayed in a room that had roaches, the bathroom was stinky and bathtub/sink both had thin lines of green/black mold around the caulking. No exaggeration, but towels that were supposed to be white were a light brown and didn't smell clean (as though they had been washed with no detergent and no rinse). This was deeply unpleasant. We called staff and showed them the roaches and the towels. They "upgraded" us but while we didn't see any roaches in the "new" room, towels were the same and now we had a new issue. The back door to the balcony had no lock. It was broken and we didn't feel safe sleeping like that. There were lots of mosquitoes, but the mosquito nets are not well fitted to the beds (like you find in other hotels). Mosquitoes came in and out of the net at will (with bellies full) after feasting on us all night. Customer service was horrible. When we switched rooms, we needed a pillow and it took about 5 hours (after visiting reception twice because room-phone didn't work), for us to get a pillow. Eventually we gave up and moved to Kuriftu for the remaining nights.

The hotel is set in a beautiful location but it has no amenities So the lake has no boating, kayaking or sailing opportunities No bikes or evens a trail guide for walking

Our family stayed here for an overnight trip, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were friendly and helpful. Check-in was fairly smooth. Beautiful views of the lake. Swimming pool was chilly but sunny, and the kids enjoyed it. Massage/spa was good. Tasty meals were available at the on-site restaurant. The beautiful plants growing around the property were pleastant. Walking down the road from the hotel are quiet roads for walking and bird watching. Staff were honest--I misplaced my mobile phone, and they kept it safe at the front desk until I could return to pick it up. We plan to come visit this place again.

One of the best resort hotels interms of hospitality (the staffs), the quality of the food, the view to Bishoftu lake (it's a pity that there is no enough light towards the lake during the night, otherwise if would be gorgeous!). some interior details are a give away to the hotel and needs to be fixed asap. Overall we had a pleasant stay!
